Alix Perez’s 1985 Music Return: ‘Sabotage’

Alix Perez has remained one of the most distinctive figures in electronic music by consistently operating outside of clear genre boundaries. His work sits at the intersection of drum and bass, dubstep, and low-tempo bass music, with a focus on precision, restraint, and sound design rather than trends. Over more than a decade of releases, he has earned recognition across Europe for his technical approach and long-term consistency. His collaborative project, Shades, formed with EPROM, further expanded his reputation for darker, experimental production and sound. In parallel with this collaboration and his own releases, Perez’s label, 1985 Music, has become a platform for forward-thinking bass and drum and bass artists, shaping the sound of the modern underground.

His latest album, Sabotage, arrives after months of anticipation and marks a focused return to heavy drum and bass. The record features a mixture of his more heavy and oppressive sounds juxtaposed with more relaxing drum and bass releases. Several tracks stretch beyond even Alix Perez’s standard song structure which allows the tension to build gradually rather than relying on sudden drops. The mixdown gives the album a dense, immersive feel from start to finish. Sabotage stands as one of his most deliberate releases to date, reinforcing Alix Perez’s position as an artist who prioritizes depth, control, and longevity over quick impact.
